7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Eyecatching debut here over 7f (good to firm) and then justified a shade of odds-on with no bother at Ffos Las (7.5f, heavy); faces a different calibre of opposition here but it's been an encouraging start. |

1st 5 (4) |
23rd Aug 2024 Soft 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Out of a well-connected mare and overcame clear inexperience when staying on from the rear for third on debut at Haydock (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; ought to be more streetwise here and could be hard to beat. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
8st 9lb |
2-7 on the AW but is 1-13 on turf (win came on yielding); won at Dundalk in March off 3lb higher; the best of three turf runs since then came over 7f at Cork on penultimate; not as good dropped back to 6f at the Curragh on latest; moves back up in trip now and might prefer an ease in the ground. |

6th 2 (13) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Progressed well last year over 7f, winning twice; resumed progress on return in March when defying top-weight at Dundalk; towards the rear over C&D before more like his best when fifth of 15 over 7f at Cork 13 days ago; probably lacks the pace of several of the 6f winners in this field. |

5th 12 (5) |
14th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Progressed well last year over 7f, winning twice; resumed progress on return in March when defying top-weight at Dundalk off 84; cheekpieces worn when well beaten behind some of these rivals at the Curragh (6f, good) have been abandoned. |

12th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Has run four times and her win at Haydock (6f, soft) in May on second outing stands out; on a fair opening mark on that form but needs to leave her last two performances well behind. |
20/1 |
|
4th 2 (3) |
23rd Aug 2024 Soft 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Kept on well to win Haydock maiden (6f, soft) quite comfortably in May, her second start, and her subsequent lesser effort from a wide draw on Kempton (AW; raced wide) is not viewed too harshly; upped in trip and fitted with tongue-tie for this turf return; a player if back on song. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 44y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Has been running well in 1m2f/1m4f handicaps and showed a willing attitude to edge home on the AW last Wednesday; solid chance, though wouldn't be certain to appreciate softening ground. |
3/1 |

1st 1 (7) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Readily won back to back last July (made all) and went down by a head in October (all 1m2f on turf); much more like it when tackling 1m4f for the first time at Salisbury 13 days ago, finding just an Andrew Balding 3yo too strong; will need to settle better if she's to see this trip out best. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Tends to lead; won twice last summer and she also went close here (again 1m2f, good) in October; yet to match latter form in two starts this term and now tries a new trip. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
First visit here was a winning one (this trip; did it nicely; May 2025) and he hasn't run a bad race at the track since, most recent example when not getting the rub of the green in a 0-70 two starts ago (finished fifth); soft ground a valid excuse latest; of interest in first-time blinkers. |
8/1 |
|
9th 2 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Scored twice last summer (including over C&D) and comes here on the back of a solid fifth in 5.5f Bath handicap 25 days ago; not out of things from an easing mark. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Twice a winner in 2025, once here; reappeared with a close sixth at this track last month and it was his first visit to Pontefract when below par three weeks ago; can go well. |
